Chapter 198 Into the play

Wu Shaohai smiled indifferently, left after a few words, and returned to Li Shen's side. Looking at the smile on Wu Shaohai's face, Chen Sheng's brows furrowed again.

If Wu Shaohai's move is not crazy, it has another deep meaning. Knowing his relationship with Ling Suyun, he dared to run over so blatantly and say such a provocation. Not long ago, in order to obtain the right to operate the mine in Fujian, Wu Shaohai didn't know how low he was.

Chen Sheng thought about it for a while, and then thought of something. Judging from Wu Shaohai's series of behaviors in Fujian, he is a member of Gongzi's high faction, and he is very close to Li Shen. Contacting what has happened recently, Chen Sheng understands the repeated root of Wu Shaohai's face.

Wu Shaohai must have learned from some source that the imperial court had another person for him, thinking that he was about to leave Minzhong. Indeed, if Chen Sheng leaves Minzhong, the post of county guard of Minzhong County will not be vacant, and if someone else is replaced as the county guard of Minzhong County, the Ling family may not get so much official support in Minzhong. Even if someone from Brother Gongzi's faction serves as the county guard of Minzhong County, then the Ling family's property in Minzhong may still be suppressed, and they will try their best to support the Wu family. In order to support the development of Minzhong County, the Ling family has invested almost all the family funds in Minzhong, if such a change occurs, then the Ling family, a big family, will face a catastrophe. What's more, Wu Shaohai is so unscrupulous in front of the two.

Ling Suyun also thought of this, so after Wu Shaohai turned to leave, his face was a little pale.

Chen Sheng frowned, held Ling Suyun's hand, and said, "Don't worry, even if I lead the army to the battle, this Fujian will also be ours." Except for me, who can appease the large and small forces in all parts of Fujian? "Among the various industries built in Fujian, Chen Sheng paid special attention to handling the relationship with the locals, and achieved the balance of interests, many clan leaders know that only by listening to the words of the county guard can they get rich, if anyone dares to cut off their financial route, without Chen Sheng's prompt, they will immediately pull out a large group of people to cut him! Chen Sheng paused, and then said: "Even if someone in the court wants to embarrass me, there is still a teacher." ”

Wei Yu was very low-key in the imperial court. But keeping a low profile doesn't mean he's easy to bully. Wei Yu, who holds the power of the Black Water Pavilion, is a knife hiding in the dark, and there is no warning to stab anyone. Wanting to seize the territory of Master Wei Yu's students angered Master Wei Yu, maybe the next day the Black Water Pavilion will find evidence that proves that they have an unclear relationship with the remnants of the Six Kingdoms.

After receiving Chen Sheng's assurance, Ling Suyun was relieved. The Ling family still has a certain amount of influence in the imperial court, and with the ability of the head of the family, even if the county guard in Minzhong is changed, it should be no problem to protect the interests of the Ling family in Fujian.

Chen Sheng smiled indifferently and said, "I learned that you were coming a while ago, and I asked the singers to arrange a program, originally preparing to surprise you during the Mid-Autumn Festival." But there are a lot of people tonight, so it doesn't hurt to let everyone have fun, how about it? ”

Ling Suyun saw that Chen Sheng had the meaning of asking for his own opinion in his eyes, so he nodded and smiled: "It's better to be alone than to be happy, is it singing and dancing?" Ling Suyun knew that Chen Sheng had a lot of whimsical ideas in his head, and when she heard that Chen Sheng had arranged a surprise for herself, it was difficult to suppress her curiosity.

Chen Sheng smiled slightly and waved his hand at the steward standing in the corner. Then he pulled Ling Suyun and walked to the center of the crowd.

When the guests saw Chen Sheng walking to the center, they stopped talking and turned their eyes to Chen Sheng. The banquet of Chen Sheng's house has always been very casual, people can move around and talk to each other at will, and the people who often go in and out of the county guard mansion are no longer strange. Only those who received the invitation card for the first time from the county guard office would sit on the couch and talk cautiously with familiar and unfamiliar guests.

"Everyone!" Chen Sheng pulled Ling Suyun, raised the bronze wine lord in his hand with one hand, and said with a smile: "Chen Mou will set up a banquet tonight to invite all distinguished guests, firstly, because the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, invite everyone to enjoy the moon and watch the dance together. Victory, in Fujian for a few months, thanks to your strong support, there is now a political and harmonious people in Fujian, and all kinds of waste are prosperous. Here, Chen Sheng thanked you! Chen Sheng bowed slightly to the surrounding guests. Then drink all the wine in the wine jue! ”

"The county guard is serious!" The guests did not dare to accept Chen Sheng's gift with arrogance, and hurriedly returned the gift, and at the same time drank the wine in their hands.

Chen Sheng smiled slightly, and said, "Second, it is Chen Sheng's fiancΓ©e, Miss Ling came from Xianyang to visit me. Chen did not dare to snub the beauty, so he took advantage of the beautiful scenery to catch the wind and wash the dust for her, meet with all the VIPs and friends, enjoy the singing and dancing, and spend the festival together. ”

Hearing this, the guests laughed. Chen Sheng's words were calm, and he didn't put on a show of being a county guard, which won their favor. The words of flattery came out all over the world for a while, and they came out without money. It was noisy for a while.

After speaking, Chen Sheng returned to his seat and motioned for everyone to return to their seats and enjoy the program he had carefully arranged.

Speaking of these programs, Chen Sheng really didn't put a lot of thought into it. The preparation of these shows was originally arranged to make Ling Suyun happy. Chen Sheng is not afraid of not being creative. There are too many things for him to plagiarize in the future.

In order to cater to the dialect preferences of the guests of Minyue, Chen Sheng deliberately plagiarized a few folds from the later Yue opera "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai", and streamlined it into an opera that only lasted half an hour. This opera was written by Chen Sheng, and the court musicians invited from the mansion of Su Shao and Wu Zhu were soundtracked, of course, this music was hummed by Chen Sheng, and the musicians just composed the tune that Chen Sheng hummed, and then practiced with the singers.

As soon as the bangzi huqin sounded and the actors appeared, the scene immediately stopped. This kind of song and dance, not to mention that these dignitaries and nobles in Fujian have never seen it, even the current emperor has never appreciated such a song and dance. I can't help but feel the novelty. All of them were silent, staring intently at the performance of the singers.

Ling Suyun and Chen Sheng sat side by side. She doesn't know much about the Minzhong dialect. But she saw the whole performance clearly and knew what it was about, and she was soon attracted by the play and began to be fascinated.

Among the guests present, most of them came with their daughters, some with the lady of the main house, some with the concubines who were being favored, and some of them were attentive, seeing that Chen Sheng was young and had not yet married a wife, and even the daughter of the family who had not yet left the cabinet was brought out. And this play is the most popular among these female dependents. From Shanbo's acquaintance with Yingtai, who was dressed as a man, the relationship deepened, which made the female dependents very emotional; However, when the two separated, Yingtai hinted many times that he was a woman, but Shanbo was ignorant, and even the male guests began to sigh; Later, when Shanbo learned that Yingtai was his daughter, Yingtai was promised to a famous family, and when Shanbo died of depression, many girls were already teary-eyed; Later, when Yingtai got married, but committed suicide in front of Shanbo's grave and both turned into butterflies, the audience was already in a commotion. The female guests cried and fell beside the men next to them, and the male guests also picked up the corners of their clothes and frequently wiped the corners of their eyes.

Chen Sheng didn't expect the effect to be so good. Looking at Ling Suyun, who was already crying next to her, Chen Sheng took a hand and helped Ling Suyun wipe her tears. While wiping, he comforted: "It's just a play, don't cry!" ”

Ling Suyun sobbed and said, "It's so touching, if you perform in Shanhai Building, how much money do you have to make!" ”
